Men's MicroTherm StormDown Jacket

World's Best Down®

Our First Ascent guide team built this ultralight jacket for alpine climbing in cool to cold weather. Windproof ripstop polyester shell. Each cluster of the super high-loft 800 fill StormDown insulation is also treated with a DWR finish so the down retains its loft and superior insulating properties even in wet conditions.

"It's made specifically to be a very lightweight layer with down, which makes it lighter than any kind of other insulation and very compact and packable. When you wear it, you hardly know you have it on."Ed Viesturs, Eddie Bauer Alpine Guide

Active: Our most athletic fit. Close to the body without restricting mobility. Designed to fit over baselayers and lighweight midlayers.

NOTE: Temperature ratings are based on a controlled laboratory test, using low and moderate activity levels. Also consider: your sensitivity to cold and wind-chill; time of exposure; activity level; and use of layering.

A very poor value for the money. There is simply insufficient down to provide any reasonable warmth even on a 40 degree day. Thought Bauer forgot to include the down! At almost $200 it is a very poor value. There are better light weight packable options at less money. (Bauer's flannel shirt provides more warmth at 1/4 of the price.)

Small size was accurate trim fit in body but sleeves are about 4 inches too long with arms extended; elastic cuffs too loose and lack any adjustment allowing wind in.

I used this jacket for two years, I went to the store to get it checked because the seams of the jacket were loosen up and the feathers were falling off, the store manager inform me that this jacket had a LIFE TIME WARRANTY and he replace the old jacket with a brand new one. THANK YOU EDDIE BAUER.

Good looking, warm, outside upper pocket good for normal-sized cell phone, but not great in a breeze--so a true windproof outer makes a great combo. Also good in light mist or heavy dew, but not for long and not for true rain, but that's what the wind- water-proof is for. Although I haven't been a situation where I would get wet as in sailing or rafting, this jacket should hold warmth when wet.
